As shown in Fig. 1, the flow rate measuring device includes an ultrasonic measuring unit 1, a sound calculating unit 2, a sound speed setting unit 3, a temperature measuring unit 4, a sound speed calculating unit 5, and a comparing unit 6. The example illustrated in Fig. 1 is based on the premise that the type of gas measured by the ultrasonic measuring unit 1 is predicted. The sound speed calculating unit 2 calculates the sound speed based on the signal output from the ultrasonic measuring unit 1. The sound speed calculated by the sound speed calculation unit 2 is output to the comparison unit 6. The sound velocity calculating unit 5 performs temperature matching on the sound velocity set in advance in the sound velocity setting unit 3 in accordance with the temperature signal output from the temperature measuring unit 4. The sound velocity calculated by the sound velocity calculation unit 5 is output to the comparison unit 6. The comparing unit 6 compares the sound speed output from the sound speed calculating unit 2 with the sound speed output from the sound speed calculating unit 5. Based on the comparison result of the comparison unit 6, it is diagnosed whether or not the ultrasonic measuring unit 1 is malfunctioning. In such a prior system, it is assumed that the diagnostic flow measuring device is malfunctioning before the gas type is known. Previous systems did not discriminate between gas types. Also, the previous system does not set conditions depending on the type of gas.

INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION (6) The transmitting unit 19 transmits a signal to the ultrasonic vibrator 17 by the converting unit 21, and also outputs the signal to the timing unit 23. The receiving unit 20 receives the signal from the ultrasonic vibrator 8 via the converting unit 21, and outputs the received signal to the timing unit 23. The time difference between the signals is measured by the timing unit 23. Therefore, the elapsed time (τ 1 ) of the ultrasonic wave outputted from the ultrasonic vibrator 17 to the ultrasonic vibrator 18 across the flow path 7 can be obtained. Next, the connection relationship of the joints A to D of the conversion unit 21 is changed. Namely, the joint A of the conversion 4 21 is connected to the joint c, and the joint b of the conversion portion 21 is connected to the joint D. Therefore, the elapsed time (τ 2 ) of the ultrasonic wave outputted from the ultrasonic vibrator is crossed to the ultrasonic vibrator 17 through the flow path 7 can be obtained. Using the above-described measured elapsed time ΤΙ, T2, the gas flow rate through the flow path 7 can be calculated by the following calculation formula. It is assumed that the angle between the gas flow and the ultrasonic propagation path P is 0', the distance between the ultrasonic vibrator 17 and the ultrasonic vibrator 18 is 1, and the gas sonic velocity is c. (1) (2) After the elapsed time ΤΙ, T2 can be calculated according to equations (1) and (2). T1=L/(c+v(cos θ )) T2=L/(cv(cos Θ )) 1) and (2) Eliminate the speed of sound c, and calculate the flow velocity v according to the equation (3). v=CL/2cos Θ)((1/T1)-(1/T2)) (3) The flow rate Q is calculated according to the equation (4).

When the appliance satisfies the safety standard set by the safety standard setting command 50, it is judged as "normal use" by the abnormality determination command 53. After the time set by the interval setting command 504 is passed, the above processing is repeated. Figure 11 shows an example of a safety standard, which is determined for each appliance and gas type; This safety benchmark is based on the use of the security gas. The example shown in Fig. 11 is a time limit for the continued use of the device/, a, the appliance b, and the appliance c when the gas is used, and the time limit for the continued use of the appliance a, the appliance b, and the appliance is determined when the gas B is used. . As shown in the above, it is possible to apply the safety standard of the gas type corresponding to the two-pass flow path by calculating the specific gas type of the sound velocity. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the safety of the gas. For example, when the gas used is changed from a city gas to a propane gas, the automatic variable should be a safety standard for the gas type. Therefore, safety can be ensured. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to changing the gas type but also when the component gas is changed. For example, when the concentration of c〇 in the gas changes, it is set to correspond to its concentration.

T = T2 c = V2 At this time, since the original gas A should flow through the flow path 7, and actually the gas B flows through the flow path 7, it is judged by the abnormality determination command 7 7 that "the abnormal gas flows through the flow path 7". A valve close command 79 is implemented. As a result, the shutoff valve 32 is closed. When the gas of the first-class flow path 7 is specified as the gas a, it is judged by the abnormality judgment command that "the normal gas flows through the flow path 7". After the elapse of the time set by the interval setting command 78, the above processing is repeated. According to the temperature and the speed of sound, even if the gas with a sound velocity is close to a specific gas type, and the gas other than the specified gas flows, the gas can be instantaneously blocked to ensure safety.

In the sixth embodiment, the same components as those in the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In the sixth embodiment, the same components as those in the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In Fig. 18, reference numeral 8c denotes a measuring unit. The measuring unit 8c includes an ultrasonic measuring unit 8 and a temperature measuring unit 80. Reference numeral 81 is a temperature calculation unit, reference numeral 8 2 is a comparison unit, reference numeral 83 represents a temperature, a sound speed memory unit 'reference number 84 safety reference setting unit, and reference numeral 85 indicates an abnormality determination unit. The structure of the measuring unit 8c is the same as that of the measuring unit 8a shown in Fig. 3 . Fig. 19 shows the processing procedure performed by the calculation unit 9 shown in Fig. 8. For example, as shown in Fig. 19, the program is started by the start command 88. The temperature of the gas flowing through the flow path 7 is calculated by the temperature calculation command 89. The gas velocity of the gas flowing through the flow path 7 is calculated by the sound velocity calculation command 9〇.

INSTRUCTIONS (19) c = V2 The safety reference setting command 9 4 sets the safety reference for the specific gas type. For example, when the specific gas type is gas B, the continuous use restriction time of the appliance using the gas B is set as the safety reference. The flow rate correction coefficient corresponding to the specific gas type is set by the flow rate correction coefficient setting command 95. The flow rate v and the sectional area S calculated by the flow rate calculation command 96 according to the equation (3) and the flow rate correction coefficient k set by the flow rate correction coefficient setting command 9.5 are used to calculate the flow rate corresponding to the specific gas type according to the equation (4). The device used for estimating the flow rate calculated by the flow rate calculation command 96. The abnormality determination command 97 judges whether or not the appliance satisfies the safety criterion set by the safety reference setting command 94. It is judged, for example, whether or not the continuation use time of the appliance is within the limited use time limit set by the safety reference setting command 94. If the appliance does not satisfy the safety criterion set by the safety reference setting command 94, the abnormality determination command 97 determines "abnormal use" and the valve close command 99 is executed. As a result, the on-off valve 32 is closed. When the appliance satisfies the safety criterion set by the safety reference setting command 94, it is judged as "normal use" by the abnormality determination command 97. After the time set by the interval setting command 98 is passed, the above processing is repeated. As described above, since the temperature and the speed of sound can be used for a gas having a sound velocity value close to a specific gas type, a safety standard corresponding to the type of gas flowing through the flow path can be applied. Therefore, it is safe. (Embodiment 7) Hereinafter, a gas type discrimination system according to Embodiment 7 of the present invention will be described.

The gas temperature T2 flowing through the flow path 7 is calculated from the second thermometer calculation command 104. It is determined by the comparison command 105 whether or not the difference ΔΤ between the temperature T1 and the temperature T2 is greater than a predetermined temperature T p . When the difference ΔΤ is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T p , the processing is continued after the time set by the interval setting command 1 0 3 has elapsed. When the difference ΔT is larger than the predetermined temperature Tp, the gas velocity of the gas flowing through the flow path 7 is calculated by the second sound speed calculation command 106. In this way, two pairs of temperature values and sound speed values are calculated. The temperature and the sound speed comparison command 1 0 7 compare the various temperature values previously stored in the temperature and the sound velocity storage unit 59 with the calculated temperature values, and compare the various sound speed values stored in the temperature and the sound velocity storage unit 59 with the calculated 2 sound speeds. value. The specific gas type is determined by the comparison of the gas type specific command 1 0 9 by the temperature and the speed of sound comparison command 1 0 7 . The flow correction coefficient corresponding to the specific gas type is set by the flow correction coefficient setting command 110. The flow rate calculation command 1 1 1 calculates the flow rate v according to the equation (3), the cross-sectional area S, and the flow rate correction coefficient k set by the flow rate correction coefficient setting command 1 1 0, and calculates the flow rate corresponding to the specific gas type according to the equation (4). The above processing is repeated after the time set by the interval setting command 11 2 has elapsed. In this process, if the gas type is changed, the corresponding gas species are calculated.

As a result, the on-off valve 3 2 is closed. When the gas flowing through the flow path 7 is a gas person, the abnormality determination command 113 determines that "the flow path 7 has a normal gas flow". After the elapse of the time set by the interval setting command 112, the above processing is repeated. As shown above, since two pairs of temperature values and sound velocity values are used, even a gas that is relatively close to the speed of sound f can be specified as a gas type, and when a gas other than the specified gas flows, the gas can be instantaneously blocked to ensure safety.

According to the other gas type discriminating system of the present invention, the gas type can be automatically specified, and the on-off valve disposed in the flow path can be controlled according to the specific gas type. Therefore, when the type of gas flowing through the flow path is changed, the effect of the unsafe condition of the system or the machine can be prevented. According to the other gas type discriminating system of the present invention, the gas type can be automatically specified and a safety standard corresponding to the specific gas type can be set. Therefore, when the type of gas flowing through the flow path is changed, the effect of the occurrence of an unsafe condition of the system or the machine can be prevented.
